I’m researching best practices in educommunications that mitigate digital risks, and the topic of emotions simply can’t be left out—which is why we’ll be addressing it, among other points, at the International

There are pleasures you just can’t pass up—like a good Uruguayan-Venezuelan meal, for example. It was my first time, hehehe. Welcome to Pozo Suruapo in San José de los Altos. All I can say is that the

I couldn’t figure out where to start because none of them really grabbed me. I decided to pick one based on the title and chose “La noche de Mantequilla,” but no, it didn’t work; I didn’t want to read

It’s not a house; it’s a bookstore-museum. I wanted to find a story—one among so many to tell—but at Libroria, the story tells itself. We went on a Sunday; we circled around it several times before finding

They tell me we’re going to stop by the bookstore for just a little while, and I say, “How lucky!” These are places that tend to capture my attention not only because of the books they sell, but also because

In my town, they honored Tsunami, one of the rescue dogs that helped search for people after the earthquake that struck my country. I saw it on social media, and when I went to the market, I asked, “Where

I’d venture to say why some of Shakespeare’s stories are better known than others, and it’s obvious: they’re better—or so I think. I feel bad for the author, but it happens to all of us; not everything

After a stroll through the streets filled with fruit, sweets, coffee, handicrafts, flowers, people, and blazing sunshine, I got hungry and thirsty—really thirsty. My boyfriend and I went to “Moritz,” a

“Coffee, coffee, coffee with milk, coffeeeee... Bring on the coffee pot with the coffee, with the coffee” 🥳🥳🥳 That's what I used to sing back when I was a camp counselor, hahaha. The song popped into

A friend recalls that at some point during her childhood, she celebrated New Year’s Eve in these gardens; she also remembers how, years later, her children would roll down the hill, happy. I’ve been there

Estaba en casa de mi novio y mientras miraba su biblioteca noté cómo tantos libros podían generar una historia y que si los unía tendría muchas más historias. Entonces pensé en qué pasaría si tomaba

Visiting Tributo Casa de Café in Chacao, Caracas, Venezuela is like taking a trip to that little corner of Tovar in Mérida. How kind of them! But, excuse me, first of all, it smells so good! God, what
